Captain FABERasked the Under-Secretary for War whether it is contemplated to amend Article 529, Royal Warrant for Pay, by which only quartermasters who have been commissioned since amendments were issued may obtain retired pay of £250 a year; and why those who were commissioned before the amendments are to have £50 a year less?
§ Colonel SEELYUnder Article 529 (e) of the Royal Warrant for Pay, etc., a quartermaster commissioned before 31st August, 1911, may have the benefit of the new scale provided that for every £10 over £200 which he may receive under the new scale he shall have given a year's service after the date of its introduction. No change of this article is contemplated.
